Guiding Star lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 We stood beneath a summer sky, When the mood was blue, love. We saw a star that shone on high, Named the star for you. Promised that when those rays I should see, If I send a loving thought to you, You’ll send one to me. REFRAIN: Shine on, my silver star, I call you from afar, Sweetheart, I am your own, Only yours alone. Your arms shall hold me fast, While life and love may last, Though far apart we are, You’re my shining silver star! |

Here’s to the Old Days (Good Bye Old Pals) lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 My good pals, jolly old pals, What a time it is since friendship first began. I’m leaving, don’t be grieving For I soon shall be a happy married man. We’re thinking of the times we shall be missing you, When at a flowing bowl we gaze. While I’m home by the fireside, dreaming of my daring, dashing bach’lor days. REFRAIN: Here’s to the old days, Here’s to the old ways, Here’s to the old friends, Loyal and clever, Here’s to the great nights, Here’s to the late nights, Memories grand will last forever. Quaffing a flacon of bachelor size, Under the stars until sunrise. Here’s a farewell to liquor and gals, Good luck and Goodbye old Pals. Here’s to the Pals. |

Love is Like a Song lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 Life is strange; Fate is grim and tragic Till with wond’rous magic Love comes to the door, Turnig days that were sad and grey days Into glad and gay days Never known before. Though the sun hides behind the shadows, Still your sky shall be ever blue; I’ll be ever near, For I love you, dear. REFRAIN: Love is like a song, a lovely song, That sings to me the whole day long: “Sweetheart, dear heart, my heart.” Symphony of dreams, for in a dream I hold you close in love supreme; Sweetheart, dear heart, my heart. And when I think of you, at morning, night or noon; That beloved tune will start Telling me in melody divine, That I am yours and you are mine, Sweetheart, dear heart, my heart |

Mr & Mrs Sippi lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 Black water flow along, carry me on Over the lonely bay, You-oo! That old lonely feelin’ on me stealin’ makes me blue. Blue water that I love callin’ to me, Down the levee I come, Babe; My heart’s all a shiver, To that blessed river, I’se a comin’ home. Mister and Missis Sippi, I miss you so, I’se just dippy. One day you’re so level and mild As you flow down to the sea; Next day you’se a devil, too wild for a poor black child like me. You’re just like my Mammy and Pappy. When I’se beside you I’m happy Because I was born by you; I’se part o’you, The heart o’you Mister and Missis Sippi! |

My One Ambition is You lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 He: Though I’m rather sentimental, Girls have made me very shy. I thought love was accidental, Like a cinder in your eye. Never felt that I was falling, Till I took you by the hand, Now the cuckoo birds are calling, Oh, gosh! Ain’t love grand. She: I’m so sincere and believing, I hope you’re never deceiving. There’s no one I like like I like you, You make me cry like big babies do. Believe me, honey, There’s nobody who Can creep in my arms The way that you do. My heart you juggle, My head you spin, Without a struggle I just give in I have a mission I’ve got to put through, My one ambition is you! |

A Tear, A Kiss, A Smile lyrics by Anne Caldwell (died 1936) © expired 2007 When you’re in love nothing else counts at all, And deep in love even the wisest fall. I’m telling you true, I’m in love with you; Don’t take me to task dear, Here’s all that I ask, dear: A tear, a kiss, a smile. A smile, a kiss, a tear Is all I have in all the world To give to you, my dear. A smile for when we meet, A tear when we must part, A kiss that tells you, That my love is yours alone, sweetheart! |
